A Note about Lion

We're still shaking out 10.7 support. Bug reports very welcome! We've got a bug tracker thread about it already.

You will need to have installed Xcode to build shoes. Attempting to build shoes (really pango and glib) will fail if you try to use the osx-gcc-installer.

Building

Here's what you have to do to build shoes:

  1. make sure you have homebrew and git installed. And a Ruby, 1.9.2 seems fine, with the Bundler gem installed.
  2. Make sure to run a brew update! Even if you just installed homebrew. It makes some git directories that are important. :)
  3. git clone https://github.com/shoes/shoes.git
  4. cd shoes
  5. bundle install
  6. rake osx:deps:install
  7. rake

Aaaand you should end up with a .app!
